Practice the skills and techniques of traditional woodworking while building your very own hand tools. The Joiner’s mallet is a necessary tool for cutting traditional joinery such as dovetails, mortise/tenons, sliding dovetails, and others. In contrast to the round Carver’s mallet which is more common in the modern workshop, the Joiner’s mallet is typically heavier, and has two square faces for transferring the maximum amount of power to the blow.

  • A $20 materials fee is due to the instructor upon the start of class.
  • Registration will close on 6/2 to allow adequate time for material sourcing
  • This class is open to students ages 14 and up.
